Marriner highlighted that there's a lot of misinformation about the Fox Theater's architectural style, stating, 'lazy journalists have called it variously Moorish, Islamic and even Medieval,' but the true inspiration came from the Chaumukh Temple in Gujarat.
Discussing the theater's history, Marriner posed several unsolved mysteries: 'Did the Black Panthers really try to burn down the Fox, or were they framed for the arson that closed it in the 1970s?'

Reflecting on the theater's cultural significance, Marriner remarked, 'the Fox not only represents a piece of Oakland's history but also encapsulates various narratives woven into its sometimes tumultuous background.'
